Infancia Y Guerra En Centroamérica

Resumen del Libro

Studies how the experience of war affects childrens development. Children aged eight to 14, numbering 891 in all, were interviewed in 1989 in Nicaraguan war zones, Honduran contra refugee camps, and (as a control of sorts) in Extremadura, Spain. The use and review of the socialization literature is not impressive, but this topic is infrequently studied. Children in war show a widespread acceptance of a polarized view of social relations, and girls and boys often diverge sharply and develop sex-differentiated orientations toward warfare –Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
